Open Access Infrastructure for Research in Europe
OpenAIRE will deliver the e-Infrastructure to power the Open Access pilot of the European Commission. This will consist of an electronic infrastructure and supporting mechanism for the identification, deposition, access and monitoring of FP7 and ERC funded articles, where the main supporting mechanism will be the establishment and operation of the European Helpdesk System. Additionally the project will offer a special repository for articles that can be stored neither in institutional nor in subject-based/thematic repositories.
